The Medical Research Foundation of Oregon awarded Dr. Stephen Ramsey, Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences, a grant for $37,051 to support his research on the different types of immune cells in plaque and how they affect the formation of atherosclerosis, (commonly known as hardening of the arteries) that can lead to heart attack and stroke. “It will expand my research by allowing me to look at T cells in addition to macrophages, and to use a state-of-the-art technique (RNA-seq),” he says.
